Some of these are going to be real challenge to read. If you notice, they want the people doing the challenge to come into the store a lot. They probably want us to buy all these books, but I'm just going to get books from the library.

If you complete the challenge, you get a $50 gift card to the store.

  3. Just to clarify... we do not require that you purchase all (or any) of the books that you read for the challenge from the store. However(!), your support via purchases is what allows us to do the challenge and to offer a prize. Thanks for being a customer.
